Title: changing a cossie waterpump
Post by bizzay1 on Dec 7^th, 2008, 9:37am

I have started to take the waterpump off of my 24v in readiness for replacement but I am having difficulty getting at the 2 bolts behind the belt tensioner- any advise on how to do it - or even how does that tensioner come off so I can get a socket on them ??

The manual shows that you can remove the bolts without removing it but i cant see the way to get into those bolts

I thought exactly the same after reading the manual and then trying to do the job, It is a 10mm allen key for future reference, I had to buy a set - but a bargain they go from 1.5mm up to 10mm and had a set of hex keys from T10 up to T30 18 keys in all for a fiver :o
